Answer:

x=2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

1st method:

sin(30)=opposite/hypotenuse=√5/x

sin(30)x=√5

x=√5/sin(30)

x=2√5

2nd method:

cos(60)=adjacent/hypotenuse=√5/x

cos(60)x=√5

x=√5/cos(60)

x=2√5

3rd method:

This is a 30-60-90 triangle, so we can multiply the short side, √5, by 2, to get x=2√5

Answer:

$ 31050

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Write the formula for calculating simple interest.

Simple Interest = P x R x T

100

P: Principal Amount-The loan taken (30,000)

R: Interest rate at which the loan is give (6)

T: Time period of the loan in years-there are 12 months in 1 year. There are 7 months from May till June (7/12)

Step 2: Substitute values in the formula

Simple Interest = 30,000 x 6 x 7/12

100

Simple Interest = $1050

Step 3: Calculate the amount due at maturity

At the maturity or the end of the time period given, the original or principal amount of the loan has to be repaid along with the simple interest.

Amount at maturity = Principal Amount + Simple Interet

Amount at maturity = 30,000 + 1050

Amount at maturity = $31050

Sheila, janice, and katen, working together at the same rate, can complete a job in 3 1/3 days. Working at the same rate, how mu

Answer:

Janice and Karen could do in 1 day:

20% of the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify how much of the job could janice and caren do in 1 day, first, we must find how much of the job make just 1 person at the same rate:

If three persons make a job in 3 1/3 days, 1 person make the job in x:

3 persons ⇒ 3 1/3 days or 10/3 days
1 person ⇒ x

Then:

$x=\frac{1 person*\frac{10}{3}days }{3 persons}$ (we cancel the unit "persons")
$x=\frac{\frac{10}{3}days }{3}$
x = 10 days

Just a person would need 10 days to complete a job, now, we're gonna divide this value in 2 to obtain the time that need two persons to complete a job:

Time to complete a job between 2 persons = $\frac{10}{2}days$
Time to complete a job between 2 persons = 5 days

How two persons need 5 days to complete a job (in this case, the two persons are Janice and Karen), we can make a simple rule of three to obtain the percentage made in 1 day:
